So in many ways it is better album than it's predessor. But I'll check out that album.
I see what you're saying, but I don't think it's sensible to argue that one album by a band is better than a previous one on the basis that the album in question represented a great change in direction. It might make that album more important in the history of the band, but I don't think that's a reason to say that it's better.

With me, the deciding factor has always been fairly straightforward: OK Computer is more melodically beautiful than Kid A. It has incredible songs. The latter can't match it for songs. So OK Computer imo wins.
